40+

Years of experience

At Tiruchelvam Associates, we are more than just lawyers; we are problem solvers, trusted advisors, and strategic partners for clients from here and around the globe. As one of Sri Lanka’s most established law firms, we are proud of our history, our reputation, and the journey that has shaped us into the firm we are today.

Tiruchelvam Associates was founded in 1982 by Dr. Neelan Tiruchelvam, P.C. and Sithie Tiruchelvam.

Our story began with a clear mission: to redefine legal practices in Sri Lanka by putting clients first. Founded by legal visionaries Dr Neelan Tiruchelvam and Sithie Tiruchelvam, Tiruchelvam Associates has always been grounded in a commitment to ethical excellence and advocacy. Our Founders envisioned a firm that would be both a pillar of legal expertise and a progressive force for justice, service, and community in Sri Lanka.

Today, our dynamic team of partners, led by Managing Partner Ramani Muttetuwegama, upholds and builds on that vision, working together to shape our firm’s future and exceed client expectations.

We work with you

What sets us apart is our people. Each team member is driven by a shared dedication to excellence, integrity, and respect for our clients’ unique needs. Clients describe us as “timely,” “attentive,” and “extremely knowledgeable” – qualities we uphold with pride. We work tirelessly to be accessible, adaptable, and always prepared with solutions that make a difference.

Looking forward, we aim to continue growing as thought leaders in Sri Lankan law, bringing our experience, fresh insights, and personable approach to every challenge our clients face. This is who we are: a firm committed to both tradition and innovation, and most importantly, to you.
